Broken Glencairn

I seem to be on a glass breaking spree here lately. One while washing over the weekend and one while putting them away after letting them air dry. So that makes two broken for me.
How many have you broken?

Always do sober what you said you’d do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.

Re: Broken Glencairn

My wife and i went to Whiskyfest this year and each received a glass. Since I'm the bourbon drinker, I guess they were "mine". She broke one two day later when doing the dishes. i suspect it was done on purpose so I'll do the dishes more.

I broke the first one I ever got from BT. I have another has has a small chip. I also recently broke my WT glass.

Hope is subversive, for it limits the grandiose pretensions of the present by calling into existence the possibility of something better.

Re: Broken Glencairn

I broke two different snifters in one day a few months ago, trying to reach inside to clean them while I was doing the dishes . . . I have been extra careful since and haven't broken any glasses (plus, my wife has a propensity for bring spare glasses home for me fairly often, just in case).

Re: Broken Glencairn

I have seven Glencairn glasses. Two crystal ones from Old Forester Repeal sets, two crystal ones from BD, one glass one from BT (Old Rip VanWinkle), and two plain glass ones that I picked up at an estate sale for $1 each. I use the two that I got at the estate sale. Not that I'm cheap, but if I break one of those, it's no big deal. So far so good. Haven't broken one yet. And yes, I'm keeping my fingers are crossed.

Re: Broken Glencairn

For some reason I break more wine glasses than anything else, usually washing them. I haven't broke any Riedels while washing them. I don't have any Glencairns. I've broke a couple Riedels while drinking and talking. I talk with my hands a lot and, well, while drinking I've knocked a few glasses to the floor.
